FORMER Wrexham midfielder Danny Williams aims to spark a Kidderminster Harriers revival on his return to the Racecourse today.

In the first-ever Football League meeting between the two sides, Williams lines up against his old teammates for the first time since being released on a free transfer at the end of the 2000-01 season.

The 23-year-old's current team have plummeted from second to 11th in Division Three over the past two months and haven't won a league game since their 4-0 drubbing of Swansea City on October

29.

Williams is more determined than most to break that wretched sequence when Harriers face a Wrexham side eyeing a place in the top three.

For the Welshman admits he is still puzzled at why the Red Dragons allowed him to leave the Racecourse two years after he joined the club from Liverpool.

"No one ever explained to me why Wrexham had to let me go, though I got the impression that the gaffer (former Wrexham boss Brian Flynn) never really liked me," said Williams.

"If I'm honest, I didn't see it coming. I got injured so when I recovered I was sent out to Doncaster on loan to help me get my fitness back.

"That went well and eventually, when I returned to Wrexham, I got back in the team and played the last 10 or 15 games of the season.

"I thought I did well so I expected to get offered a new deal at the very least. It really hit home when there was no offer on the table."

Williams, who was snapped up by former Harriers boss Jan Molby, has not looked back since his arrival at Aggborough and has been a regular this term.

"I've grown up a lot over the past few years - cutting back on the drinking and eating the right food - and I'm fitter now than ever before," Williams told Kidderminster's official website.

"I'm looking forward to going back to the Racecourse.

"The fans were good to me there, though I'll probably get booed!"

His manager, Ian Britton, has ordered the players to improve on their performance in last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Hartlepool, having accused them of making "disgrace-ful" mistakes.

But Kidderminster face a Wrexham side in confident mood after their 2-1 victory at Carlisle seven days ago.

Dragons manager Denis Smith is able to name a full-strength squad - minus Dan Bennett, still on international duty in Singapore - as they enter a Christmas period that also includes a trip to Roch-dale (Boxing Day) and a home derby with Shrewsbury (December 29).

"It would be great to think we could offer all Wrexham supporters an early present by securing the three points on offer this weekend," said Smith.

"But it will be difficult because teams that come here are setting out to defend and happily settle for a point."
